Wallstrasse 31 a (2012)

The building at Wallstrasse 31a in Düsseldorf was built at the end of the 18th century. Shop windows were installed in the 19th century. The age of the building is particularly remarkable: "It is probably the oldest surviving house on Wallstrasse". The baroque building was listed on March 8, 1995 as a historical monument.

The Baroque building shows architectural details such as structured window surrounds , entablature and scrolled gables with paper :

“[...] There is an inscription field above the ground floor. The two windows on the upper floor start over a windowsill cornice. They have articulated bezels and are emphasized by beams. The house has a volute gable with a top. A two-part window illuminates the gable. "

The inscription field next to the old gas lantern attached to the house today contains the motto : “ Everyone wishes me what he wants, God give him that much again. "
